Abstract

The disclosure relates to a steering column (10) which is capable of moving four ways. The steering column (10) has a base support (20) affixed to a horizontal cab floor (3). The base support (20) has a steering motor (24). The steering column (10) has an input shaft (110) with an upper telescoping shaft (111). Attached to the upper telescoping shaft (111) is the steering wheel (90). Also attached to the upper telescoping shaft (111) is the upper input shaft (110). The first universal joint connects the upper input shaft (110) to the inner input shaft (113). Torque is transferred by a key (118) on the exterior circumference (120) of the inner input shaft (113) to a key slot on the interior circumference (119) of the outer input shaft (114). The outer input shaft (114) is connected to the lower input shaft (115) by the second universal joint (117). The lower input shaft (115) is connected to the steering motor (24). Attached to the base support (20) is the lower pivot assembly (30). The lower pivot assembly (30) pivots (4) about the base support (20) by actuating a lower gas cylinder (37). The lower pivot assembly (30) can translate (7) by operating the lower locking knob. The upper pivot assembly (60) is attached to the lower pivot assembly (30). The upper pivot assembly (60) can pivot (5) by actuating an upper gas cylinder (67).
